Christmas Eve Day

Got back to the ship from Challenge Team last night...

I was standby today. This morning I did [no, had the privilege of doing] garbage with the Captain. That is a servant, people.

And THEN I got the biggest surprise - a very special Christmas present of TWO DOZEN ROSES from my man in MN!!!!!! Now HOW did he get them delivered right to the ship somewhere in Lebanon when he's in MN???! I'm asking that too! :)

The most amazing gifts always come when I'm least expecting anything and on the days when I don't feel pretty.

About Me

I am an energetic, joy-filled, city-turned-country girl living my dream of being a wife, mom, writer (if blogs count) and home school teacher-to-be! My husband is my best friend and we have a passion for managing finances well and helping others do the same. I love kids, kittens, shoes (boots especially), traveling, descriptive writing, Laura Ingalls Wilder, kinesthetic learning, wild adventures and Starbucks Java Chip Frappes! I am already adding books to our children's library and enjoy researching curriculums, learning styles, and things related to teaching. I write about the funny, the serious, the raw and the real of our family, faith and life as a mom while offering tips, resources, devotionals and community to equip, empower and encourage moms considering or beginning home educating (like me)! I have visited 34 countries (or so, I've lost count) in my 22 years and just because I plan to 'stay home' with our kids, it doesn't mean we won't go places! Come join me on my biggest adventure yet... motherhood!
